Thickness Logging: Storage for 8000 thickness readings configured either by Block/Location/Number mode or pre-programmable work sheets in sequential mode. Readings can be exported to MS Excel using optional SDMS software.

AGC: Automatic Gain Control automatically sets the signal to a level between 10-90% FSH with tolerance between 5-20% accuracy.

DAC: DAC defined by up to 10 points and digitally drawn on screen. DAC curves meet requirements of EN 1714, JIS and ASME standards, select
able between -2, -6, -10, -12 and -14dB. Amplitude read out selectable between % DAC, % FSH or relative dB.

TCG: Time Corrected Gain, also known as Swept Gain. 40dB dynamic range greater than 30dB per microsecond and up to 10 points may be used, setting all signals initially to 80% FSH.

Backwall Echo Attenuation: 0- 40dB attenuation.

Clock: Sets time and date.

Reference Waveform: This menu displays a waveform from one of the A-log stores as a reference or fingerprint display in a colour different from the active display highlighting differences from the reference.

Notes: Alphanumeric labelling for panel and A-log allows the user to enter Notes for storage with panel settings and A-scans.

Display Freeze: For capturing the current A-scan image.

Active Peak Memory: Envelope waveform for echo dynamic pattern determination, with simultaneous live A-scan display.

Keylock: Prevents accidental alteration of parameters.
